Aside from all the alternatives for power, I think a $4500 install is generally out of bounds for an install.

If the gen is on the opposite end of the house from he panel. or the gen is so big that it can power everything in your house, 4500 bucks is too high.



But what does that price include, & how many amps is it?



Then again, your looking at UT. cost & my values are Ky. cost. Likely different economies.
